first, allow me to say that i am quite enjoying these puffin
來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk classics editions of some of my favorite novels!
that being said, the hardcover editions of the puffin classics
are even MORE wonderful. mine only recently arrived, and i have
already ordered more copies.
i am sure most are familiar with the story of crusty little mary
lennox, living in india when the cholera suddenly seizes her
parents and she is very abruptly orphaned. the tale of what ensues
once she is sent to live with her uncle in england at his expansive
manor, and how the beauty of nature awakens the little girl she
means to be, will forever be cherished. the only thing i could have
done without were the very sparse images printed in this edition. i
was not a huge fan of them asthetically, and feel the printing
would have been equally splendid with no images at all. though
please do not misunderstand, i would still highly recommend this
edition, as it is well bound, and the covers are beautiful! a bonus
here with the puffin classics is the addition of backstory included
at the end of the book. here you can learn more about the author,
the stories, the characters, and so much more. what a delightful
thing to include! i have purchased most of these puffin classics
editions, and will certainly look for future additions to add to my
collection.
